Modern Cycling Jersey in Metallic Thread with Waist Tie Belt
A Coffee Roaster Chain approached us to develop a modern cycling jersey around a single idea: waist tie belt, executed in metallic thread. The capsule was destined for Indonesia and needed modern finishing that reads designer on the rail while staying repeatable in bulk. This case study records the brief, the specification and the delivery.
The challenge
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Decoration durability failed after two washes

- The cycling jersey was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Waist Tie Belt was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

What we would repeat
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not machines.
